My witchcraft journey

 As I mention before I will be discussing witchcraft because well, I'm a witch. I found out about witch craft in 2020 after the hex on the moon by a group of baby witches. I immediately started my journey. I have always loved greek mythology and the idea of getting to work with the gods made me giddy. I practice a wide variety of witchcraft I'm a solar witch, divination witch, elmantal, cosmic, green, crystal and a daughter of Hermes. Let me explain what all those mean to someone who may not know.

Solar- I work with the suns energy and Apollo. I pray to the sun, give offering to the sun, and cleanse myself in the sun. I believe everyone falls into the category of moon, sun and star. And i've always been a sun child.

Divination- Divination is probably what you think of when I say i'm witch (ofc unless you think I'm a hocus pocus character who worships satan). It's stuff like tarot, oracle, pendulums palm readings and more. It's what I've been practicing the longest besides deitie work. I got my first tarot deck in the 8th grade and haven't looked back sense.

Elemental- This ones simple it just means I work with the elements. I believe everyone is a mix of two elmests and I'm fire and earth. I do find myself using water alot to cleanse myself and working with air as a offering to Hermes though.

Cosmic- This just means I work with things like plants, stars, and zodiac signs. It's stuff like always knowing what moon phase it is and being aware of what your rising and moon sign are (I'm a sun in sag, moon in cancer, and rising in Scorpio)

Green- This is stuff like working with nature, animals, and herbs. I have a collection of herbs and often use the help of my pets to cleanse things.

Crystal- This is another simple one and technically not a witch type more of a witch hobby/collection. But this means you work with crystals and learn all there properties

Daughter of Hermes- I've been working with Hermes since the 8th grade when I first did a rain spell for him. He's like my dad of the spirit world and always lectures me through tarot cards when I piss him off. 

My review of Is everyone hanging out with me so far

 I'm reading this for an English project but have found myself really enjoying it! I would like to document my experience of reading it here!  Note I will not be posting my full-depth review till the end these are just some sloppy notes I thought were funny.

Chapter 1-

Page 2- Talks about being fat as an insecurity but also something she comes to terms with

Page 3 and 4- I love her commentary on teen boys shes right they are such jerks

Page 17- She really funny and her personality shines through

Page 20- I find it so refusing for a bigger woman to be proud of how she looks


Chapter 2

Chapter 21- I also suck at sports so I find this really relatable   

Page 23- You can not understand the irrational hatred as a twelve-year-old but it is the type of hatred that last

Page 24- I love how sassy she is


Chapter 3

Page 32- I love the way she doesn't hype up high school, she makes me excited to be an adult


Chapter 5

Page 48- It college steal some one's boyfriend for god's sake!

Page 52- I love the way she talks about female friendship, it's so important to have female friends!


Chapter 6-

Page 62-“I had time for it to ruin my week” is so real I usually find when something genuinely traumatic happens to me I dont focus on it if I’m busy

Page 63- Or do drugs in there trailer is so real
